Milan have identified Boca Juniors' Rodrigo Bentancur as their primary midfield target, but Juventus are in the way.
The Rossoneri are believed to have a budget of only €15m to bolster Vincenzo Montella's squad, and the 19-year-old Uruguayan would cost them exactly that amount.
Milan have identified Boca Juniors' Rodrigo Bentancur as their primary midfield target, but Juventus are in the way.
The Rossoneri are believed to have a budget of only €15m to bolster Vincenzo Montella's squad, and the 19-year-old Uruguayan would cost them exactly that amount.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the problem is that Juventus also have their eyes on the young talent. Furthermore, the Bianconeri have a negotiating privilege with Boca Juniors on Bentancur which can be traced back to their deal for the sale of Carlos Tevez.
If the Old Lady choose to match the €15m offer, Milan will necessarily have to break their budget to pick up the player.
The Diavolo do have some alternatives on the market. The Corriere dello Sport reports of a renewed interest in Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic, although in this case €15m are unlikely to be sufficient.
